Copenhagen Con Men Launch Global Carbon Tax Heist
While flying into Danish capital on luxurious private jets and being shuttled around in limousines, climate crooks get ready to rape the middle class.
Paul Joseph Watson

Tuesday, December 8, 2009
Hours after flying into Copenhagen on luxurious private jets and being chauffeured around in gas-guzzling limousines, climate con men convening in the Danish capital announced that the shrinking bank accounts of the middle class would be further eviscerated via the introduction of global carbon taxes.
On the back of the EPA’s announcement that the life-giving gas humans exhale and plants absorb is a deadly poison, the British government’s climate advisory team has given the green light for a raft of new taxes to be heaped on commercial flights, which are already taxed to the hilt.
“The era of cheap flights for millions of British holidaymakers is over, the Government’s most influential climate change advisers warn today. The Committee on Climate Change says green taxes will have to rise over the next few decades to curb the growing demand for fuel-guzzling air travel,” reports the Daily Mail.
In addition, Copenhagen attendees are set to debate a “global aviation tax to help poorer nations combat climate change.”
“Although detailed funding decisions are not expected to be finalised at the Copenhagen summit, several aviation tax options have stayed in the official negotiating text,” reports the Financial Times.
“We would hope that the politicians would recognise the limitations to any global aviation tax,” Steve Ridgway, chief executive, told the FT. “Any carbon tax or levy is a blunt instrument which won’t necessarily deliver any climate change benefit.”
The Air Transport Association of America labeled the measure “an exorbitant tax to fund climate change adaptation measures in developing countries”.
The tax, which will initially raise around $10 billion a year, has nothing whatsoever to do with helping poorer nations and everything to do with bankrolling the behemoth architecture of global governance now being moved into place.
As we have documented, the global carbon tax, which will start small but grow rapidly and ultimately be levied on every human activity imaginable, will be the slush fund for the world government now being announced. The entities collecting the taxes are the same groups and individuals citing fraudulent data about global warming to justify a massive and sustained tax on life that will be paid straight into the carbon indulgence scams that they own.
People already struggling to scrape together vacation money in the midst of a ravaging recession and increasing unemployment will be forced to purchase carbon indulgences which will be paid straight into the coffers of the global government overseeing the international CO2 tax.
Global carbon taxes on air travel will not just hit holiday makers, they will increase prices of everything else that derives from such transportation.
But fear not, because Al Gore’s 20 bedroom mansion and his heated swimming pool, all of which devours more than 20 times the amount of electricity compared to the average home, will continue to hum along while Gore pays offsets to the very carbon trading markets that he has a giant stake in.
“Further massive increases in the cost of flights would be a completely unjustified attack on ordinary families’ ability to enjoy a well- earned holiday,” said Matthew Sinclair of the TaxPayers’ Alliance.
This is the latest salvo in the long term agenda to lower living standards in developed countries, devastate economies, and create widespread poverty and degradation as part of the “post-industrial” society that globalists are attempting to manufacture for the peasants under the contrived climate scam, while the elite will continue to sit in their ivory towers, scoffing caviar and being shuttled around in Lear jets and limousines while lecturing the browbeaten public about how having children, driving cars, eating meat, and living any kind of reasonable quality of life is a crime against nature.

CARLOS TEVEZ CONSIDERS RETIREMENT
Posted 13/11/09 18:18

Manchester City and Argentina striker Carlos Tevez has admitted that he is considering retirement because of fatigue.
Ahead of Saturday's friendly with Spain, the 25-year-old has fallen behind the likes of Gonzalo Higuain in national boss Diego Maradona's plans after stuttering in World Cup qualifying.
Tevez confesses that, despite his young age, he thinks about hanging up his boots for club and country in order to rest and spend time with his family.
He said: "It's complicated, there's my family, the desire to return to Boca Juniors, but I think about it. It crosses my mind to hang up my boots if we win the World Cup, although I have a contract (with City) until 2014.
"I'm a bit tired of so much football. I want to enjoy my family a bit. I'm very keen to stop and get a bit of calm. I've already won a lot. Living for football has saturated me."
Regarding his place in Argentina's first team, he said: "My chance passed. I had my possibility and I couldn't take advantage of it. When the team needed goals I couldn't provide them.
"So it's logical that other lads should be in front of me."
Tevez has also hit back at critics of Argentina after it was suggested that members of the squad do not give 100 per cent at international level.
He said: "We were criticised a lot, sometimes rightly so, but to have people say we didn't play well because of the money or we don't love the (Argentina) shirt, don't sing the national anthem, there's a lot of ill will."

President Obama declares national emergency over swine flu pandemic, but why?

    NaturalNews
    October 24, 2009
    According to the CDC, swine flu infections have already peaked, and the pandemic is on its way out. Peak infection time was the middle of October, where one in five U.S. children experienced the flu, says the CDC. Out of nearly 14,000 suspected flu cases tested during the week ending on October 10, 2009, 99.6% of those were influenza A, and the vast majority of those were confirmed as H1N1 swine flu infections. (http://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/)
    Your rights as an American are no longer recognized under this national emergency declaration.
    featured stories President Obama declares national emergency over swine flu pandemic, but why? featured stories President Obama declares national emergency over swine flu pandemic, but why?
    Even though the H1N1 pandemic appears to have peaked out, U.S. President Barack Obama has now declared a national emergency over swine flu infections. The reasoning behind such a declaration? According to the White House, it’s designed to "allow hospitals to better handle the surge in patients" by allowing them to bypass certain federal laws.
    Emergency powers trump the Bill of Rights
    That’s the public explanation for this, but the real agenda behind this declaration may be far more sinister. Declaring a national emergency immediately gives federal authorities dangerous new powers that can now be enforced at gunpoint, including:
    • The power to force mandatory swine flu vaccinations on the entire population.
    • The power to arrest, quarantine or "involuntarily transport" anyone who refuses a swine fluvaccination.
    • The power to quarantine an entire city and halt all travel in or out of that city.
    • The power to enter any home or office without a search warrant and order the destruction of any belongings or structures deemed to be a threat to public health.
    • The effective nullification of the Bill of Rights. Your right to due process, to being safe from government search and seizure, and to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination are all null and void under a Presidential declaration of a national emergency.
    A D V E R T I S E M E N T
    featured stories President Obama declares national emergency over swine flu pandemic, but why?
    None of this means that federal agents are going to march door to door arresting people at gunpoint if they refuse the vaccine, but they could if they wanted to. Your rights as an American are no longer recognized under this national emergency declaration.
    What emergency?
    The declaration of this national emergency seems suspicious from the start. Where’s the emergency? The number of people killed by swine flu in the United States is far smaller than the number of people killed each year from seasonal flu, according to CDC statistics. People obviously aren’t dropping dead by the millions from H1N1 influenza. Most people are just getting mild flu symptoms and a few days later they’re fine.
    So where’s the emergency?
    The only emergency I can see is the emergency fabricated by Big Pharma to sell more vaccines. By declaring a national emergency over the H1N1 pandemic, Obama is playing right into their hands.
    I find the timing of all this curious. Two days ago, New York gave up on its efforts to require mandatory vaccinations of health care workers. This was designed to defuse a large number of planned protests from health freedom-conscious people who don’t want government-mandated chemicals pumped into their veins.
    The planned protests in New York would have fueled yet more resistance among health care workers across the country, and had it been allowed to continue, it could have resulted in a huge nationwide backlash against swine flu vaccines. By backing off the vaccine mandate and blaming it on a vaccine shortage (http://www.naturalnews.com/027313_N…), and then having Obama declare a national emergency, our state and national leaders have halted the protests and put in place a pro-vaccine Big Brother mandate that can be enforced at gunpoint.
    Big Pharma must be pleased with all this. With these emergency powers in place, all that’s necessary to force vaccinations upon the entire population is a larger supply of the vaccines — and that’s coming in November.

    JAB 'AS DEADLY AS THE CANCER'

    By Lucy Johnston


    THE cervical cancer vaccine may be riskier and more deadly than the cancer it is designed to prevent, a leading expert who developed the drug has warned.

    She also claimed the jab would do nothing to reduce the rates of cervical cancer in the UK. 

    Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Express, Dr Diane Harper, who was involved in the clinical trials of the controversial drug Cervarix, said the jab was being “over-marketed” and parents should be properly warned about the potential side effects. 

    Authorities in the UK should be on the alert because its sister vaccine, Gardasil, used in America, has already been associated with 32 deaths, she said. 

    Her comments follow the death of 14-year-old Natalie Morton, who collapsed an hour after receiving the jab at school last week. 

    It is highly unusual for a researcher to  publicly criticise a vaccine which they helped get approved. 

    However, Dr Harper, who has written many of the published medical papers about the jab, is so concerned she decided to speak out. 

    Dr Harper, of the University of Missouri-Kansas, said she believed the risks – “small but real” – could be worse than the risk of developing cancer itself. 

    And she claimed: “All this jab will do is prevent girls getting some abnormalities associated with cervical cancer which can be treated. It will not decrease cervical cancer rates at all. 

    “Parents need to know this and that in a small number of cases there are serious side effects.” 

    Post mortem results last week blamed Natalie’s death on a rare cancer but Dr Richard Halvorsen, author of The Truth About Vaccines, said: “One minute Natalie is an apparently healthy girl, she has the vaccine and within two hours she is dead.

    We are told she had a terrible cancer inside her that killed her but this is implausible.

    “If you have cancer you have symptoms. Clearly public health doctors are desperate to turn the debate away from the vaccine as a possible cause.” 

    Jabs, the vaccine support group, has received details of 19 girls who have suffered serious health problems, including seizures, fatigue or joint and muscle pain, since their jabs. 

    The Sunday Express revealed earlier this year that some of them have launched legal action against the makers of Cervarix. 

    Lisa Wickendon, 13, of Chobham, Surrey, developed muscle weakness in her legs after her third dose of vaccine last March, leaving her unable to walk. 

    When hospital tests came back normal, doctors said her symptoms were in her mind and referred her to a mental health team.

    However, a consultant psychiatrist said her mental health was sound and her symptoms had “a strong relationship to receiving the vaccine”. 

    Her mother Elizabeth, a secretary, said: “She couldn’t walk or see properly. She couldn’t make those things up.”

    GlaxoSmith-Kline, which makes Cervarix, said: “The vaccine has been thoroughly tested. Over 1.4million doses have been administered and it is estimated will save up to 400 lives a year.” 

    A Department of Health spokeswoman said: “The coroner is absolutely clear that the vaccine did not cause Natalie’s 
    death. I strongly urge all girls to have the vaccine when they are offered it. It has an excellent safety record.”

    Big Pharma Covering Up Deaths?

    A precious, innocent child’s life came to a cruel, sudden end. The Wall Street Journal reports that Natalie Morton, who died in England shortly following a Cervarix injection, did not die from the vaccination.The WSJ, in fact, almost appears to be swaggering behind its words. So you see, says the WSJ, no need to fear or stop the H1N1 vaccination program. There are pathology reports that absolve the vaccination and its maker. The HPV vaccinations are perfectly safe, as are the swine flu jabs. Thank goodness—I feel better already.
    The pathology report states that she had an undiagnosed condition that was “so severe that death could have arisen at any point.” What was that condition? A “tumour in her chest involving her heart and her lungs.” A tumor that just suddenly lashed out at her and attacked and killed, after producing no symptoms of a cancer tumor whatsoever? Is there a single person who is dumb enough to swallow this very inadequate version of her death?
    I mentioned the other day that GlaxoSmithKline is working to get approval to sell Cervarix in the U.S. to compete against Merck’s Gardasil. Of course they wouldn’t allow a truthful report of this death, caused by the vaccination, to be revealed and thus deny its approval in the U.S., causing the loss of billions of dollars in revenue streams. As Mike Adams says, “This explanation is obviously a cover story to protect the vaccine industry; and it’s not even a convincing cover story at that.” Remember, this is a global vaccination program, with mandates growing and billions at stake. This is from the Wall Street Journal piece:
    "That sad case is a reminder to be wary of confusing proximity in time with cause and effect — a concept public-health officials have been citing in advance of the imminent roll out of the swine (H1N1) flu vaccine."
    Ahh yes, coincidence! People, you see, may now fear the massive swine flu forced vaccination program the government is trying to shove down our throats. Can’t have that—declaring a worldwide pandemic and triggering hysteria means the growth of government control and a healthy, wealthy pharmaceutical industry.

    The Witch And The Robot - 'On Safari'  ATICCD009

    Available on CD /MP3 from Monday 28th September or NOW from www.aticrecords.com

    We've had some nice reviews in for this record, it's been going down really well. Have a read...


     

    Cumbria’s greatest situationist cooks come back with an album of mind-boggling sounds and attitudes that could raise skyscrapers. Oh, what fun Witch and the Robot are; I mean who else sends you random shit like menacing postcards and bags of wild flower seeds with your CD? 


    Stylistically, this is a classic TWATR record; rumbling grooves, seemingly carved out of stone, agricultural psychedelia, a Luddite Moody Blues. Small town Iggy Pops trying to put on a musical. It’s a truly fabulous noise. An indication of the sound (and a reminder of just how left-field this lot are) lies in the titles; The Beatification of St Thomas Aquinas anyone? 


    Giants Graves has that hippy-shake, lo-fi, Pebbles feeling of menace that just begs for you to shake some moody rug to it. The Moody Blues angle is well represented in the beautiful prog-pastoral wooziness of Rapture of the Deep and The Best Free Show on Earth (who’s been listening to Peter Hammill? Eh? Eh?) 


    This is a much more ambitious record than previous TWATR LPs. And this is a good thing. Clearly this lot don’t want to be thought of as a joke band. Playing to a room full of chinstrokers and erudite students ain’t good enough any more. No, this is widescreen music, even if they are searching for that lost chord in Shap’s Co-op (No Flies on ME illustrates this point well we feel). Still, they keep that ragged sound and air of mystery that is so appealing and reminds this reviewer of ..Liverpool.. loons Clinic. 


    If you haven’t already done so, then I heartily recommend this lot. Normal it isn’t but there again, look at Westminster nowadays. Is that normal?

    The Witch And The Robot - The Music Fix - Track-by-track - 14 September 09

    If, as is often claimed, the internet is finally democratising music, allowing the obscure, experimental and otherwise disenfranchised to find an audience without the need for even cool record label tastemakers to filter the process, we should start to see the results right about ... now.

    Away from the oppressive scenes and scenesters of the cities, musicians from odder parts of the country that have so far barely registered in the accepted histoire de pop are making genuine inroads. Step forward North Wales and Cornwall. Step forward the likes of Frightened Rabbit from the Scottish Borders and now The Witch and the Robot, striding down from the lonely fellsides of Cumbria.

    Their debut album, On Safari released later this month on Atic Records, is a smorgasbord of teenage psychedelia that will find favour with fans of Gorky's and exiled fellow countymen British Sea Power, two bands who overcame their own rural isolation to deliver a singular vision, unemcumbered by the latest fashion.

    The Witch And The Robot - Bearded - Album Review - 14 September 09


    The Witch And The Robot, or TWATR, sound like a hideous proposition on paper; taking on performance aliases (Dustin Goodnite, Hen, Venice and DJ Aesthetic Heartbreak) and writing narratives on Myspace about how their ‘wicked and weird world’ came into existence. Luckily this doesn’t come through on record – instead On Safari is a document of a band swimming in their own expanse; guitars are woven between surrealist lyrics and faltering percussion.

    It’s almost as if The Witch And The Robot have set out to rewrite folklore – ‘The Best Free Show On Earth’ begins mawkishly before giving way to some of the record’s most charming lyrics “I’ve lost days watching trees moving in the wind/it can be the best free show on earth”. More Syd Barrett than Hawkwind it seems that the band share similarly abstract ideals as fellow Cumbrians Wild Beasts and, of course, British Sea Power.

    Yet such touchstones are not just lazy – not in this case at least. The bizarrely titled ‘Sex Music (Beef on Wax)’ is by far the most exploratory piece on show and finds the band as sonic voyeurs. Synths, strings and what comes closer to Gregorian chanting finds it’s way into the mix as the narrative is delivered in deadpan making as much sense as you have time to give it.

    The Witch And The Robot are an interesting prospect mixing Sci-fi, traditional folk and rural whimsy with deeper, more progressive visions. As a result On Safari is a confusing record – one minute all sullen faced demi-folk and the next, pulsating with a vitality unbefitting to initial impressions. It’s twisted, it’s charming and it’s too good to miss.

    With the exception of Spinal Tap, bands that play it for laughs are a regrettable phenomenon. What starts with a light-hearted joke of a one-off single too often results in years of pain and bewilderment.
    The fact that you can rap in an inappropriate accent or produce a listenable parody of hard rock doesn’t earn you a career in music. Nobody wants to hear three albums worth of one childish joke. The joke is liable to fizzle out surprisingly quickly. Nine years and 175 chart places later, the situation won’t feel wildly humorous.

    Wearily slurring through your derivative repertoire in front of a handful of students, on an endless tour of Britain’s student unions, you may regret having made the joke at all. Happily, The Witch And The Robot sound as though they will avoid this fate. Their take on psych and prog rock offers many tongue-in-cheek moments. At the same time, “On Safari” is a compelling listen. The songs are imaginative and the musicianship is impressive.

    Rather than outright parody, The Witch And The Robot deal in sleights of hand. By the time you are aware of the absurd elements, the quality of the songs has already drawn you in. Imagine a Will Ferrell treatment of Love at the height of their spookiness. Picture the exaggerated drama and surreal imagery of such a performance. This is half of what makes this album so enjoyable. It tips the scale on that baroque psychedelia and brings out what is innately comical in it. 

    If you took “Forever Changes” out of its political context and drained the anguish from it, you would be left with melodramatic, overblown music. That is not to discredit Love. In fact, the lavish drama of the music is part of what makes it such a powerful listen. Combined with Arthur Lee’s vividly disturbed lyrics and plaintive voice, you have a record of irreconcilable tension and division. It is never clear whether fear and pain or compassion and sanity win out on “Forever Changes”. Perhaps channeling events of 1967, the album has an unending, harrowing conflict at its heart. 

    The Witch And The Robot replace this troubled voice with the purely surreal and pretentious. Over Love-like rhythms and acoustic flourishes, they present chaotic thoughts on religion and their own off-the-cuff mythology. These rambling themes and ridiculous narratives are more the stuff of prog. At times “On Safari” breaks into winding spoken-word narratives. The band have stated: “Every album should have a War of the Worlds bit”. 

    Indeed, the pomposity and drama of prog is all over the album. Songs are given titles such as “Rapture of the Deep”. There are synth and sound-effect laden stories of interminable meaning. 
    As with their approach to ‘60s psych, the use of such trappings is ambiguous. While songs are always edged with irony, The Witch And The Robot sound genuinely in thrall with the genres they mash together. The result is that “On Safari” is more listenable than a lot of revivalist bands that play it straight. Belying the playfulness, there are some impressive moments on this record. Listening to “Giants’ Graves” and “The Best Free Show on Earth”, you cannot help but get absorbed in the music.

    The band play with an attention to detail rarely heard. As musicians, you get the sense that they know the original material to the subtlest nuance. And something of the vibrancy and power of those records is captured. “On Safari” is a strange concoction. On the one hand, you are left wondering what the purpose of it all is. On the other, it proves an endearingly weird and irreverent listen. 

    8/10
